Definitions

  • a coordinate system for determination of the position of the receiver relative to the transmitter is shown in Figure 4.
  • the X, Y and Z axes are aligned with north, east, and vertical, respectively, and are centered at the centre of transmitting ground antenna array 40.
  • Location of the receiving antenna array 21 may be specified in either rectangular coordinates (x, y, z) or in polar coordinates ( ⁇ , ⁇ , p). It may also be specified by the distance p and two of the three orientation angles ⁇ x, ⁇ y, or ⁇ z.
